With sadness I bring news of a Crossing - He was called Eleven - as in "Crank that volume up to 11!"

I knew the guy just about seven months; my girlfriend - Jennifer - has had him a decade. When we (me and my two pups - 9yo Vizsla - called Aoife - and 12yo beagle/pit mix - Gracie) moved in, 11 sometimes would play and romp with them; in the past month and few weeks especially his dementia would take-hold and he would often stand motionless, forgetting, perhaps, what he was supposed to do. He was unstable as he walked but never a problem. He was well-loved and served his mission beautifully - taking care of Jennifer and the house. Now his back yard is in good hands as Gracie patrols the fence line and lazily lays in the late afternoon autumn sun - while Aoife begs to be let back inside because she's a princess.
The night prior, my daughter and her boyfriend came over for a small dinner party - and Eleven came out to the fire pit on the back patio - we were all there, listening to music and laughing - and the pups were snuggling, and even Eleven eventually gave in to his predilection for much-deserved pets and pats.
Sunday morning I was in bed, and Jennifer walked into the bedroom, then into the bathroom and saw Eleven there - I didn't notice him moving from the bedroom floor to the bathroom - but Jennifer found him collapsed into a large puddle of urine. We dried him a bit, and carried him to the back yard where he stood for awhile...then achingly and painfully slowly he lay down on the grass. He refused water, but soaked up brushes and loves and pets and snuggles as his breathing grew labored and we knew. Jennifer was with him at the vet as he crossed the rainbow bridge - as I arrived to the Vet i noticed a raven or a crow atop Jennifer's car - and I thought he was there to escort Eleven to the afterlife. Jennifer and I spent some time with what was Eleven's broken, old body and we shared some thoughts and tears before they wheeled him back behind the doors and then he was gone. He was probably over 15 years.

His rest is well-earned.

This is the old-man; I took this yesterday morning as he lay in the back yard getting some brushes by Jennifer.

So glad you got to meet this angel that was sent to Jennifer. As it is with all dogs, they touch us in a way that is unconditional. My deepest condolences to you and Jennifer and may Eleven rest his well deserved angel wings.

Thank you for sharing your story!

Just a quick update, owners found, 11 yr old girl was so happy that “snoopy” was ok! He was a good boy! Very well behaved and loved to be spoiled rotten! He will be missed!
